ya.. funny guy.. and eazy

wow. he built my love for psych! he's an awesome teacher... i definately recommend him!

His was the first class that I took at De Anza and I loved it. He lectured out of the book, gave us a study book and had class discussions. I'd take him again if I could. I recommend this class highly and him teaching it.

One of the greatest and smartest teachers I've ever had.

He's all of those things. Hard and easy. Cocky, funny, and yet approachable. Very busy man w/day job and 4 boys at home (heard having marital trouble) so doesn't pay too much attention to personal effort on the part of the students. I recommend.

I loved this teacher. One of the best teachers I ever had and it was an easy A. A for the class and A to look at this man what a hunk.........

He knows is PSYC

This class was extremely interesting which made time fly by. He is very easy, yet very effective in what he lectures about. I learned a lot and it was by far one of my favorite classes!

He was the best teacher i have had to date. He didnt fluff things or tip-toe around subjects, he just taught us what he knew. I could tell that he enjoyed teaching and i thank him for evrything he's givin me.

This professor keeps you entertained, I wouldnt recommened him to people that are close minded or offended to profanity because he does use alot. All tests and finals are take home and I did well on them but somehow I still managed to get a C in the class which still boggles my mind.

An awsome instructor who says it like it is. I wish more teachers were like him.. Says it like it is. Other comments of people dissing this teacher my adivse to you is try taking this class with another teacher and see how you do. Mr. Clifford your awsome thanks for instructing the way you do.

I've never had a prob with him and got B's in both classes with very lil work. Unfortunantly however he does not grade fairly. I worked closely with people and got similar grades on all assignments and they get lower grades than me (C and D). He grades people differently for no apperant reason.

don't listen to the other comments below. he is the BEST teacher i have ever had period. his lectures are very informative and even highly entertaining. he is easy to approach so for those who have taken his class previously and were confused about his grading policy...why didn't you ask the man. he is a great person to ask for advice about anythin

Great teacher. Easy class. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to take psych. He is so knowledgeable with just about everything. Also very interesting. Go Dr. Clifford go - 5star.

Nice guy, however he seems to guess the grades at the end of the quarter. I got an A on every test and assignment and some how ended up with a B. Very frustrating....good class to take just be ware.

Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher. Great lectures on current & relevant topics that not only relate to the book but relate to us and our everyday lives. If you want a boring teacher where you read and they give you their typical monotone lectures then take another class. I wish all teachers were this enjoyable.

Really cool teacher. Just make sure you go to class, participate and he'll give you an A. Not a hard class. I wasn't even interested in Psyc, but he'll really teach you things to make you realize how much Psyc is around us in real life.

He was a pretty easy teacher... a lot of people said they got low grades in his class, but so did i and i just e-mailed him with concern about it and he changed my grade from a C to an A. Maybe some of you should question your grade instead of just accepting it.

I've been at UC Berkeley for two years and I still haven't had a teacher as interesting, intelligent, and effective as Dr. Clifford. He's brilliant. Hands down the best lecturer I've ever had - it's uncanny how much he knows and how well he brings it together. But, if your gpa is more important to you than god, then maybe you should not enroll.

Interesting lectures, not strict on many due dates. Hysterically funny and enjoys class participation.

Clifford ROCKS!! and that is all there is to it. Yes he is tacky with his choice of vocabulary, but he says it like it is. No bull#$%*ing.

Clifford is a bright guy and teaches for his own entertainment, he makes more than enough money to not have to teach at all but he feels the need to give back to community colleges. His lectures can run on and totally off topic but sit through it and collect your A. He does brag a bit but who wouldnt when you make $177,000 a yr?

Yum, Yum, Yum...He's soooo sexy. He is VERY smart and will help you out whenever you need it. His lectures are fun and interesting. You can't help but learn from this guy. He's really funny and easy on the eyes too...

Doctor Clifford is really funny, he is a great teacher. He makes the class fun, is not boaring, he gives you a lot of info.

He is a very helpful and easy going person. I turned in all my quizzes at end of quarter. he had no probs with that. The best instructor I have ever come across. He does not teach by the book, but rather by common sense and real life scenarios. Very humble person, left a deep impression on me.

He is anwsome teacher who teaches about everything on a subject, not just whats in the book. Oh yeah he is a hottie:)

Sexiest teacher ever, most intelligent teacher ever, awesome class... seriously recommended.

Easy class, easy-going instructor. Doesn't give in class tests, hands out "study guides" (kinda like a take home test) instead. Lectures can be boring and don't make sense at times, if you don't read the book. He's hella hot though!

I would highly recommend him to anyone. This class is easy and very entertaining. The only thing you have to worry about are study guides, read!! There are 100 questions but he only makes you do 50, even or odd ! No test, No final! He's awesome, take him! Oh yeah he's very laid back, he accepts late work, and doesnt take attendance!

I enjoyed this class, our class had a lot of laughs and he was easy going and understanding. He was a nice guy and I look forward to taking his psych 14 in the fall. He isn't bad looking either for a older man w/ boys, i wonder if theres a mrs. clifford. He made me enjoy psych a lot more. definitely a hottie too

He's a great teacher, very easy going. definitely take him, he's not a boring professor

psych 1 was easy, i aced all the study guides, but got a B on two in class assignments that werent worth much..in the end i got a B, which makes no SENSE! i shouldve gotten an A..i added psych 14 a month b4 it ended, i only attended 3-4 classes, did 2 out of 3 of the take home study guids, and i got a B..haha if you want a B, take him

He is an intelligent man and knows a lot. There were take home exams and that's it. The class was extremely easy and I got an A.

Clifford is hilarious and he will amaze you with what he has done in his lifetime(he will not be able to resist telling you, as he is rather cocky).Never a dull moment, he is a very interesting guy.And single.You will get a B if he doesn't like you so say hi to him, sit in front and show up to class.Had I stayed at DA I would have taken him again.

He doesn’t want to fallow the typical educational system, b/c only reading endless pages & taking useless exams doesn’t give students the real education. So he is too smart to realize that who really wants to be there and who is really fallowing up with the class. He knows who is serious and who is not. So follow up & communicate with him. He is th

Hella funny teacher really nice and interesting !!! : take his class he will add anyone who wants to learn and who is dedicated :)

"does that make sense?"

He never checked the attendance. He's very enthusiastic in teaching and very considerate to students. All in all he's not too bad. He's very lenient too. You'll pass his class as long as you submit all the requirements.

Great teacher! Easy class! Just three take home tests and no final! He doesn't take attendance. He is very funny and doesn't beat around the bush when he's honest about something. Have to read a lot though. It's worth it! Highly recommend!!! Easy A!

He really will give you a C ha. I read the comments before taking his class and thought whatever. but really I did great and got a C. Clifford the C giver!

One of the best teachers at De Anza, in terms of keeping your attention and making you interested in the material. Clifford is incredibly smart, really knows his stuff. Don't take this class if you can't take a joke or get offended easily. If you want a class that you LIKE going to, Clifford is your man. Not a lot of work, A is possible if u try.

All of the tests are take-home and straight from the book. His lectures, while informative and hilarious (if you aren't easily offended,) do NOT follow the text at all. It's very important to go to class and take notes because they'll have your answers for the worksheets. This guy loves to talk science!

Excellent!!!

Lets start with- I am a LAAZYY student- & his class is easy. No tests, no finals, etc etc. he doesn't go with the book, but you learn from his lectures. take notes, pay attention. It's an interesting class if you participate. he's hella funny, i say taaaakeee.

gets off topic quite often, but discussions are always interesting. his mindset is "ill teach those who wanna learn, the rest can copy" idk how he grades yet- still in the class, but so far, a very fair teacher. one of the best I've ever taken at DA

fun class, awesome teacher. only take home tests- participate, & get to know your classmates, it'll make class A LOT easier than it already is. If you're closed minded, don't bother taking his class. I personally loved him.

I enjoyed this psychology class, if you listen to the lectures,take good notes and do the homework you'll get an A for sure. The homework was scantron chapter tests which were easily done when I read the chapters thoroughly. I look forward to taking another psychology class with him!

Clifford is an amazing teacher. He is hilarious and engages the class. His lectures bring real life examples into the psychology perspective. Do the home work and the quizzes and show up, if you read the book you will understand the lecture. If you are looking for a cookie cutter class this is not for you. He makes you think! He is awesome!!

Clifford is hilarious and engages the class with off the wall examples. Do the home work and the quizzes and show up. He makes you think! He is awesome!! Take home fill in the blank is confusing at first but he gives you all the answers if you pay attention and don't over think them. Buy the book. I would take him again. Good Luck!!!

Totally Crash! Ask and you shall receive the answers to your questions. Always has the habit of asking, "Did you get that?" If not, do ask. Very friendly, funny, and realistic. Do the online reading and assignments; serves as a rather large grade cushion. Very inspirational. Indeed an outstanding character. Coming to class is very helpful.

Professor Clifford is awesome. He is realistic and highly intelligent. He really knows his stuff. If anyone has things to complain about its because they aren't trying. The class is very do able as long as you are not a fool. Will be taking his classes again.

Honestly, the class inculcated in me a deep admiration of philosophy- it's psychology but it's taught from a philosophical perspective. His notes look like crap- a bunch of dictionary meanings thrown on paper at first, but give it time. Open your mind- Connect denotations and random definitions to ideas and meaning. Do the quizzes and extra credit

Has a different way of teaching. Open-book tests, no finals. But as i've mentioned, he teaches differently and gives out worksheets to complete. Unless you're willing to attend all his lectures, read through things, connect the dots on your own, then take this class.

WONDERFUL prof. He believes books are the foundation to knowledge and he is right. There's more to a subject than just reading the book, and that is what you get in his class. He doesn't believe in testing students, because 'if you ask a fish to climb a tree, it'll think it's stupid the rest of it's life'. Go to his lectures, you won't regret it.

Everything is online except the class lectures. I didn't take an online class though. The worksheets in class are easy and for extra credit. There are 80 questions that you have to get right to pass the reading(the software tells you which page). You can check your answer for each quiz question until one gets it right. Teacher is informative.

This class was fantastic. He doesn't lecture out of the book - he expects you to read the book and take the online quizzes yourself (it is an intro class, after all. It doesn't go into a ton of detail). His lectures are very different - more of a philosophy of science class. Got me really excited to pursue a PhD.

He's a really qualified guy. He's a phd and looks over other phd dissertations. It's an easy class, but if you ask him questions, he'll have a lot of great insight.

I love this professor! His lectures are a little hard to follow at first and it can be a little intimidating but he gives you printed notes, after a while everything he says really makes sense! He gives you the deadlines for all the HW the first day so you can do the HW at your own pace. He is a great teacher & would definitely take him again!!!!!!

Professor Clifford is very funny and makes class not boring. Im the type of person who gets distracted easily so thats important to me. The homework was passed off the textbook online to read, but theres a lot of time in between each due date to do it, its 4 quizess due each time. He offers extra credit. He can be very repetitive but I didn't mind

Professor Clifford is a real gem. He gives good feedbacks to his students and not a hard grader. There are lot of extra credits for doing online quizzes. His lectures are interesting.
